Wait I don't get it. You are putting wax on your hands and feet. So you are waxing as in removing all the hair off your hands and feet?

Wait come back I am really confussed now. You would do your whole body. How is that good for your joints I would think it is painful as all get out. There is no way I would ever wax my whole body.

Your lips. Wouldn't that peel off all the skin. Then you would have chapped lips. What am I missing?

No no no ... paraffin is different. When it's heated it completely liquifies and during a treatment the client quickly dips her hands or feet into the paraffin (usually three times). It retains heat really well, but it also solidifies very quickly, essentially covering said body part in a soft, warm coating. It helps lock in moisture and the heat is great for inflamed joints (trust me, I know). It's usually left on the hands or feet for about five minutes (wrapped in plastic and then covered with a warm towel to lock in the heat) and then it peels right off like a glove. Doesn't do a thing to hair and is totally painless.

Every time I get a pedicure or manicure I pay extra to have the paraffin dip.

You should try it sometime.

What is everyone doing in Cozumel?
We were going to do Ixcharet, but decided against it due to budgets. Now we are going to do some shopping and maybe going down to Paradise Beach.

ONE LAST TIME!!!!


THE NEXT TIME SHE PASSES THIS CAMERA IN THIS DIRECTION, WE WILL BE ON IT!!!!!!

thanks Jeff! That's totally awesome! We're really getting excited here. Laura is finally allowing herself to look forward to it. BTW, If anyone sees or gets at this pic of our cruise, I'd like a copy.

So we are getting things together and we are wondering about the following:

2 way radios- do they work? Worth bringing?

Inflatable rafts and tubes. Any need for these in the pool or at the beach?

Any last minute tips for us first timers regarding things to pack?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks-

We're bringing our two ways. they have a five mile radius. They should do the trick.

Great picture Jeff! We need to get Andy to get a shot of our cruise next week.

Hopefully he will be able to!

Did some packing last night and a little today.

Long way to go. The hardest part is trying to decide what's going in the carry-on and dividing our clothes up between all the suit cases in case one gets misplaced.

Got my pirate costume ready though.

Why do guys like Wenches?

I'm way overpacking! I just can't help myself.

BTW: Guys like wenches because they don't mind being called a wench. Something very caveman about that!

Before I forget ...


I had a message on my answering machine Thursday night from Lindy Loo - she and her family are safe in Florida where I'm sure they are enjoying the start of a much needed and deserved vacation.

Thought you all would like to know that they're here!

Great News!

Hi everyone!

Had to work this morning, then spent all day doing laundry! Still haven't even started packing. Hopefully can start on that tomorrow.

Just read all 11 pages of Cass's trip report. What fun! That Kira is such a little trooper! Rob should get her a little stormtrooper shirt or something!

Jeff - thanks for the Magic photo! You sounded very excited in your post! (Big red letters!) Hope Andy or somebody can catch our sailing!

Well - I really need to get to bed. Very tired, and have lots to do tomorrow. Just wanted to stop by here for a late visit!

 

[Dyerneeds]

indians win!!
now im going back to bed.

Just giving you a little bump.

Went and had a pedicure this afternoon ... ahhhh, bliss! I love paraffin.

Now I'm just trying to get the laundry done and clean the house so that I don't feel like I have to clean when we get home. It's chilly and rainy here today - that Florida warmth is sure going to feel good come Monday.

Have a safe journey tomorrow Brenda.

Yay.

Here are all the snacks that I bought yesterday for our travel days. I expect this to last for Friday, Sat and then the folliwing Sat.

Now this is a minor problem. We went to home depot today and forgot to lock up the dog. The snacks were on the counter. She ate the fruit rollups and the cupcakes. She also went upstairs and unpacked one suitcase, she ate the toothpaste, a shampoo, and a deoderant.

Well she obviously wanted to be clean and fresh for your return.

That little smiley looks just like me at work--hard at work behind our tasting bar. Gosh, I love my job!

Lucky ducky you
Wish that was me!

 

[GOS]

Right...time to do some ironing and watch some of last nights programmes we recorded.

C U all later

 

[Scouter]

Yuck! If that were me my hand would be all itchy now--dog saliva makes my allergies go crazy!!

Yick, I'm not allergic but I hate dog drool.
I love dogs, but I'm really more of a cat person

 

[Scouter]

quick note..
anyone thinking of doing a vowel renewal on the ship.?
cinnamike is a justice of the peace.
for the price of a strawberry smoothie you can new your wedding vows.

Why must we renew A E I O and U and sometimes Y?
Has their time expired?

Staying home today to work on tags and magnets and bills too.

Letting Sean use my car to take to work today even though I hesitate

There were house keys, car key (my spare) and more importantly he's lost the keys to the Museum of Science and Technology!
He's been looking everywhere but

My son is so absentminded ADHD

Hi Mike,

I'm Big Red. I have a thing for guys name Mike. Do you like girls with a nice "personality"? If so, then I'll see you on deck 10.

I prefer girls with big personalities to nice personalities. But that's just me.

DW and MIL are doing the Dolphin encounter. Me, the boys and my FIL are going to Chankanaab Park on our own for a few ours. Anyone want to share a cab? or know if there is a shuttle service to the park.

Anyone doing the ray encounter at CC?

 

[oybolshoi]

Have a safe journey tomorrow Brenda.

Hi Brenda!

Sorry I won't get to meet you
Hopefully, some other time.

Hope you have a great trip

Thanks Heather and Rose - you guys have a wonderful cruise! I'll be thinking about all of you!

I may even bump the thread for you later next week once I'm home.


PS. I had very strange dreams last night filled with dogs who worked at the airport as baggage handlers ... I guess I spent too much time on the thread last night.
